Mexico City Morning Transit: Metro Holds 5–6 Minute Headways as Metrobús Closes Xola on Line 2

Operator updates cite maintenance at Xola on Line 2 as the key service constraint.

Overview

  • At 6:00, the Metro reported average train intervals of mostly 6 minutes with some lines at 5 minutes, indicating generally regular operations.
  • Riders flagged slowdowns on multiple routes, including Line 8 at Constitución, Line A toward Pantitlán, Line 12 at Tláhuac with high crowding, Line 1 toward Observatorio, and Line 2 at Hidalgo with about 10‑minute delays.
  • By 6:48, Metrobús reported six lines operating normally and confirmed the Xola station on Line 2 remains closed for maintenance.
  • Metrobús said service on Line 4 south was restored and separately noted a lane obstruction along the Plaza de la República–Pino Suárez corridor.
  • Tuesday’s broader disruption at Xola that halted Line 1 service did not recur today, with the closure now confined to Line 2 according to the latest advisories.
